So long as I’m commenting on foreign policy matters, I might as well devote a short post to the big news from yesterday that U.S. special forces found and killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The title of this post is semi-ironic. I would hope that with the death of bin Laden at American hands, our country could move on from the attitudes that we have developed in reaction to the September 11 attacks. I’m not optimistic on that front, but I’ve been surprised before.
